Copying Templates

A new Template can be created by copying an existing Template on the CR Payment Run Template Maintenance form, which is accessed by selecting the CR New Payment Run Template option on the CR Payment Run menu:

This will open the CR Payment Run Template Maintenance form:

Add the Template that is to be copied in the Template drop-down field and click on the  button:

Select the  tick box and a New Template Name field will be displayed immediately below the tick box:

Add the name of the new Template to this field.

Where the Template that was copied was a BACS template, i.e. it only includes BACS Payment Methods, ensure BACS is included in the template name, e.g. 101CRBACS.

Where the Template that was copied was a Cheque template, i.e. it only included Cheque Payment Methods, ensure Cheque is included in the template name.e.g. 101CRCheque.

It is recommended that separate Templates are used for BACS payments and separate Templates used for Cheque payments.  Templates should not include a mixture of BACS and Cheque payments.  

Click on the  button and a new Template will be created with the new name but using the values of the copied Template.

Click on the  button, select the new Template in the Template field and click on the  button:

Make any changes that are required to the following tabs:

• General tab.
• Filter(1) tab.
• Filter(2) tab.
• Sorting tab.

Where the Template is a BACS template these tabs are further detailed in the New Payment Run - BACS section.

Where the Template is a Cheques template these tabs are further detailed in the New Payment Run - Cheques section.

You can now use this Template for new payment runs, which for BACS Payment Runs is further detailed in the Payment Run Process - BACS section and for Cheque Payment Runs is further detailed in the New Payment Run - Cheques section.
